This year's spring fertilizer prices are going up!

On March 13, the second meeting of the Fifth Council of the China Agricultural Production Material Circulation Association and the 2017 Spring Farming Agricultural Supply Market Situation Analysis Meeting was held in Fuzhou.
With the theme of "promoting the structural reform of the agricultural supply side and accelerating the transformation and upgrading of agricultural enterprises", the conference summarized the achievements of the association in 2016, studied and deployed the 2017 work plan, reviewed and voted on related matters, and recommended important annual activities of the association .
At the same time, the 2017 spring plowing agricultural material market situation analysis meeting was held to analyze the latest market conditions such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides, exchange the spring plowing market conditions in various regions, and put forward opinions and suggestions on macro-management policies.
Li Dianping, Director of the Agricultural Production Materials Bureau of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, Executive Vice President of China Agricultural Materials Circulation Association, and Chairman of China-ASEAN Agricultural Materials Circulation Association, presented the "Work Report of the Second Council Meeting of the Fifth China Agricultural Materials Circulation Association" to the conference.
He also pointed out that this year’s agricultural material market situation is different from previous years.
Since the fourth quarter of last year, the prices of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have risen rapidly in a short period of time.
Cost-driven recovery increases; affected by the fall in food prices, farmers have lowered their intention to invest in agricultural materials and reacted more strongly to the increase in agricultural materials prices.
Li Dianping suggested that all member companies should give full play to their corporate social responsibilities, guarantee the supply of agricultural materials, and meet market demand such as spring ploughing; play a guiding role and take the lead in stabilizing market prices; innovative business services and comprehensive services for agricultural production; strict quality management and good maintenance Market order; strengthen market monitoring and pay close attention to the trend of agricultural materials market.
At the same time, Li Dianping pointed out that in the current most difficult situation for agricultural material enterprises, everyone must earnestly implement the spirit of the Central Government’s No.
1 Document, follow the general trend of the times, accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading, and transform from a buy-and-sell agricultural material seller to a modern one as soon as possible.
Comprehensive service provider of agricultural materials.
Fu Chunhua, deputy inspector of the Agricultural Production Materials Bureau of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and Secretary-General of the China Agricultural Material Circulation Association, made the "Financial Report of the Second Council Meeting of the Fifth China Agricultural Material Circulation Association" to the conference and presided over the full-day meeting.
The meeting also invited Ye Xingqing, director of the Rural Economic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, to explain the agricultural supply-side structural reform policy and the 2017 Central Document No.
1 document.
Ye Xingqing explained the contents of the No.
1 Central Document from three aspects: "Comparison of the Four Agricultural Structural Adjustments", "Three Challenges Facing Agricultural Development" and "Three Main Lines of Agricultural Supply-Side Structural Reform".
He believes that looking back over the development process of more than 30 years, my country’s grain and other bulk agricultural products have been in short supply for most of the time.
Increasing production and ensuring supply are the primary goals of agricultural policies.
However, the supply is relatively ample, agricultural products are difficult to sell, and prices are falling.
At that time, the transformation of agricultural development methods, especially the adjustment of agricultural structure, has risen to the agenda.
At this meeting, Wang Xiaojing, deputy secretary-general of the China Agricultural Production Material Circulation Association, made a report on "2016 Fertilizer Market Review and 2017 Situation Analysis".
The report analyzed the fertilizer market in 2016: In the past 2016, the world economic growth The downturn continues; commodity prices have broken the downward pattern, and some commodities are in tight supply, but the demand side shows no signs of strong recovery and has not yet fundamentally reversed; my country has achieved remarkable results in reducing production capacity; grain harvests have been harvested year after year, and the fall in food prices has affected farmers' enthusiasm for investment .
At the same time, she also made predictions for the spring farming fertilizer market in 2017.
She first analyzed the global economic trend: the downturn in world economic growth is still continuing, the trend of "anti-globalization" and protectionism is on the rise; the trend of major economies' policies and spillovers The effect is variable, and unstable and uncertain factors have increased significantly; GDP growth 6.
Around 5%, seeking progress while maintaining stability is still the main tone.
In terms of social inventory: The current social inventory has decreased year-on-year.
In order to avoid high risks, grassroots distributors adopt the business method of selling and purchasing.
The off-site storage mission due in 2016 has not been renewed, and there are about 7.
5 million tons of reserves.
The reserves have been reduced to less than half of the original, less than 5 million tons, and the company's independent reserves have decreased.
The rise in the price of chemical fertilizers represented by urea across the country this spring has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, triggering industry discussions on whether the fertilizer commercial off-season reserve system will continue to be implemented.
Most companies believe that the fertilizer off-season storage policy serves as a reservoir for my country’s fertilizer industry.
, This round of price increases reflects the necessity of continued execution of short-term reserves.
In terms of fertilizer structure, farmers’ purchasing power has declined, input intentions have decreased, fertilizer structure, habits, and varieties have changed.
The use of elemental fertilizers has decreased, and the recognition of compound fertilizers has increased.
The demand for new fertilizers has increased the most.
Intelligent soil testing The acceptance of compound fertilizer is higher, but traditional fertilization methods such as "the old three" and "one bombardment" are still widely available, and the awareness and methods of scientific fertilization and medicine still need to be strengthened.
In terms of fertilizer exports, export tariffs on nitrogenous fertilizers and phosphate fertilizers will be cancelled this year, and export tariffs on compound fertilizers such as monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, and nitrogen and phosphorus binary fertilizers will be cancelled.
The export tariffs on ternary compound fertilizers will be reduced from 30% to 20%.
Potassium chloride, Export tariffs on potash fertilizers such as potassium sulfate and potassium nitrate remain unchanged.
On the one hand, it is conducive to domestic enterprises to coordinate domestic and foreign markets, actively participate in international competition, and channel excess capacity abroad; on the other hand, changes in export volume caused by changes in international prices will more directly affect domestic supply and demand and prices, and market risks Further improve.
However, despite this, my country exported 3.
3 million tons of various fertilizers from January to February, a year-on-year decrease of 13.
5%; cumulative imports of 1.
17 million tons, an increase of 30.
6% year-on-year.
Insufficient demand in China's main destination countries for fertilizer exports, such as India and Brazil, has led to a significant decrease in China's export orders year-on-year.
On the whole, my country's fertilizer industry in 2017 will be better than the level of 2016, but it is still hovering at a low level.
It is necessary to pay close attention to the impact of factors such as operating rate, import and export, demand, and environmental protection.
Sun Shubao, president of the China Pesticide Industry Association, made a report on "2016 China's Pesticide Industry Goes Forward in Double Pressure" to the conference.
He pointed out that the overall operation of the pesticide industry in 2016 was stable and under two-way pressure from the demand side and the production side.
In 2017, the pesticide industry will continue to push forward.
The reorganization and integration of industry resources will be more active, and the enterprise industry chain will further extend downstream.
The degree of localization and specialization has increased.

17 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 30.
